Perhaps I'm looking at this thing a little differently than others, but I'm hoping Diamond and Te'a do what's right for them, and have the wisdom to know what that is - no matter where they end up.

Back-in-the-day my daddy said, 'Son, there's two sides to every story, and the truth is generally found somewhere in between.'

Since KB injected herself into your recruitment, I ask DD & TC to do themselves a favor. Get the names of 5 or 6 of KB"s teammates the year she played at USC & give several of them a call. And remember what your dads told you - same as mine told me, I'll bet.

HINT: You can't play yourself into shape at the collegiate level. You just can't.

I heard it different "there are three sides of every story...his side...their side....and then there's the truth. But I agree ....

The way I see it buddy is that the last time we saw Bone at SC she gave the middle finger salute on her way off the court so Bone probably isn't going to give such a good rapport about Dawn and the University if DD is talking to her, but I've been wrong before.

I have never heard that before...not saying it's not true but could you provide some hard evidence of that ? That would have been talked about for a long time, if true. People say crap that isn't true or never happened all the time and I am thinking this is one of them.....

I wasn't there that day when Bone returned to CLA, so I can't say for sure what exactly happened. But I do seem to recall that something occurred, but I always thought it was directed to our fans rather than having anything to do with Dawn.
If you go back and read the Cockytalk game thread, our fans were getting on her pretty good...as you would expect. In that thread someone mentions her flipping off the crowd.

Bone's quote:
"My decision to leave was about me," Bone said. "But coming back, I had the utmost respect for everybody involved That's the same coaching staff that recruited me and some of the same players I played with."

I read the entire thread about the aTm game. Kelsey was a kid who missed her family. I can't believe everyone booed her every time she got the ball. That wasn't very nice. I would've probably flipped double birds to them. If you don't like the calls boo the refs but not the kids that wasn't nice at all.

LOL the fans booed her because she left. You gotta expect something like that when you leave somewhere and go to a school you know is going to face your previous team. "oh no they booed her" welcome to big time athletics. Everything you do is under a microscope, if you dont like it, play division III. A true athlete would embrace it and play the best game of their life.

Maybe she was homesick. That's understandable because kids get homesick. However, she's a pro player now BOTH stateside and abroad this was a couple years ago, and yet she still finds a way to inject herself in Gamecock business. Twitter isn't the greatest source of info, but I've noticed that little to no former Gamecock teammates interact with her on there. Heck, Dawn is one of the most engaging and entertaining coaches on Twitter, and they don't interact. I find that to be telling since everyone who has played with and/or for Dawn give her high praise... JMO

The boos were very light until she started mouthing off at our players (Especially Ashley Bruner) everytime down the court. That is what set the crowd off. Can't expect people to ignore her cursing at our players every 30 seconds. Not saying right or wrong to boo, but it is going to happen b/c of that.

Regardless, Diamond will make a decision that she thinks is best for her and she should. I think she might have reached out to Bone b/c she was another high profile transfer and not that it was from USC.

This is exactly how it happened. Once she started talking junk to our players (I believe it started with Bruner and continued with others), the crowd took offense.

I'm new here, but I've been following this forum for years. I'm just curious why Kelsey is still a topic of discussion here. It's time to move on.

Must say an interesting choice of topic for a first post, but I agree with you.
Guess it's the 'jilted lover syndrome' at work, but one-way streets are the pits.
BTW, been around the world a couple of times myself, but no one can ever say they've seen it all. LOL.
